The Mercedes-Benz 220S Coupé was one of the elegant highlights of the late 1950s and early 1960s, when automotive design combined luxury with technical precision. This two-door car, part of the famous W180 series, continued the post-war tradition of the "Pontoon" - cars with flowing lines and an emphasis on comfort. Under the bonnet was a 2.2-litre inline six-cylinder engine, which, with its reliability and refined running, provided not only decent dynamics but also a pleasant driving experience. Interestingly, Mercedes was still using a sturdy ladder-frame construction at the time, which contributed to its excellent durability. Coupé versions were always exclusive - hand-assembled interiors with wood and leather gave the car a refined atmosphere that still fascinates collectors today.
This particular example, built in 1959, is an American version that underwent restoration both in the USA and later in Sweden, from where it was imported to the Czech Republic in 2019. The 2,195cc engine still retains its characteristic smooth running, with regular maintenance in the Czech Republic ensuring its reliability. Annual servicing is a matter of course, with the most recent, in spring 2024, being a thorough overhaul of the brake system, carburettor adjustment and a change of all important oils - engine, gear and differential. The brake fluid was also changed to ensure that the car remains not only an elegant classic, but also a safe and fully functional machine on the road.
